Instead of the check given once in birth, parents will benefit a monthly sum for each child by the age of five, following Periscope.
The payments start at 50 euros months, for the first child, 70 euros for the second child and 100 euros for the third child -- payment that will be in five years.
Everyone knows how much it costs to raise a child today from diapers to milk. Under those conditions, that $140,000, $80,000, or even $150,000 paid at the same time did not cover almost anything. Only the minimum monthly expenses for a child today are over $10,000 new. For moving from a once bonus to a monthly support is a positive step”, Klodian Muca said.
The only uncertainty remains: will the implementation of the scheme begin on January 1, 2026, or will it include children born during 2025? On the other hand, the impact on the” budget should be taken into account, Muca said away. /Euronews. al
